Jandeba, Russia 1942-05-25 (2 others)

Overview:

During the nine day period that had passed since the Russians had been displaced by a Swedish attack across the Jandeba stream, the new defenders had been digging in and placing wire and mines in anticipation of the expected counterattack. At pre-dawn on 25 May, the defenses came under fire from Russian Artillery. When the barrage lifted, Swedish troops discovered Russian Sappers working their way through the defenses. Right behind the Sappers, more Russian troops poured through the woods, shouting "Urra", "Urra", "Urra". The Swedes replied by shouting the famous order from the defense against the Russian Invasion of 1808: "Släpp ingen jä vel över ån!' -"Let no Brute cross the stream!"
